The Five Red Herrings

The Five Red Herrings are among the six suspects in the murder of an artist in the village of Kirkcudbright, Scotland, in this 1931 novel by Dorothy L. Sayers; Ian Carmichael played Lord Peter Wimsey in the movie based on the book. (The first time it was published in the U.S., its title was Suspicious Characters.)

Whoever killed Campbell painted a landscape in his style to make it look like he died later than he did, so it had to be one of the six other artists in the village, and he had fought with all of them. Now Lord Peter has to figure out who done it and who the five red herrings are.
